Non-notable student resource center. Prod declined. Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. The only source given that seems to speak to notability is 403'd. It is possible due to its SF location that it has more than a local profile, but in general student organizations should be at best mentioned in the school article somewhere. --Dhartung | Talk 21:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Student groups at a single school are very rarely notable and, at best, should be compressed into a sentence or two (assuming it's verifiable) in the school's article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  • "Keep and Improve" This student center is important because its part of San Francisco City College, where the country's first gay literature course was introduced, followed by the first bachelor's program in Gay and Lesbian Studies. (See "Queer Studies") I have made contributions to the article since I first came upon it and saw the notice of deletion. Since then, I've started my Wikipedia account and learned a lot about the workings of Wikipedia. I'd like to keep improving the article because I think there is a lot of interesting history connected to the Center, and these centers provide students with the chance to connect with others, which in the gay, lesbian, transgendered community, is very important. I did a bit of research on the role of these centers in people's lives and that is something else I'd like to expand on in the future. EdwardLINE1 (talk) 05:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

:*Maybe an article on LGBT resource centers generally might be able to be created. That would almost certainly be notable assuming there is published research like you say. General information about these centers belongs in a general article, not this one. Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep and improve - EdwardLINE1 is willing to work on the article, including its sources, so we should give him some time to see if he can track down references to establish its notability. Remember, we shouldn't WP:BITE the newcomers. (This is his very first article). The Transhumanist 13:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

:Even if he is a newcomer, it is silly and counterproductive to encourage him to work on an article about a non-notable organization that will be deleted later. I have searched on google and found absolutely nothing to indicate that this center is notable in the least. A search of all English-language news for all dates that uses the terms "City College of San Francisco" and "Queer Resource Center" brings up 0 results in lexis-nexis. Just because the university had the first queer studies program does not make this center notable (notability is not inherited). All that has been added since the deletion nomination is information about queer resource centers generally, which is frankly irrelevant in the article about this queer resource center.

:: Not if he can find sources. The Transhumanist 23:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

:::*Comment - article could be moved into his user space if necessary. Addhoc (talk) 20:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep That article is taking shape and appears notable enough to justify inclusion in Wikipedia. There is not a reason given to rush to delete that I see. SaltyBoatr (talk) 16:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
